Lonely Planet review for Aqueduto da Água de Prata
Jutting into the town from the northwest is the beguilingly named Aqueduto da Água de Prata, designed by Francisco de Arruda (better known for Lisbon's Tower of Belém) to bring clean water to Évora and completed in the 1530s. At the end of the aqueduct, on Rua do Cano, the neighbourhood feels like a self-contained village, with houses, shops and cafés built right into its perfect arches, as if nestling against the base of a hill.

Not a well-maintained path, and full of angry dogs!
alexristea does not recommend this,
For how much advertising there is for the "green path" of the Aqueduct, it was a major disappointment. First, it only arches above ground near the city. Right after that, it goes near underground and you are following basically a low wall.
It's a very small path in between farm land with fence on both sides. However, this doesn't stop the local dogs from getting in and I was chased twice on both sections of the trail.
